National Certification Board for Alzheimer and Aging Care (NCBACtm) Offers New Eldercare Series

Leave a comment


Industry leading certifications for caregivers, educators and relocation specialists.

“This curated news is created to give caregivers, educators and transition managers easy access to the most recent information in the field.”


CHICAGO (PRWEB)

Acting on clients requests from across the country, NCBAC has began monthly newsletters to provide interim updates to the information their certified caregivers, educators and transition managers received as a part of their certification training. The new feature focuses on interviews with leaders in the field of elder care and is published with two different focuses: eldercare and transition management (downsizing). Articles and news releases come from a range of sources including news articles and features, results of recent research and “how to” articles written by other practitioners.

Care of older Americans has become “front of mind” for Americans of all ages in the past several months. The US population over 65 is growing at an explosive rate. A large group of people in their 40s thru 70s are faced with helping their spouses and parents deal with the common diseases of aging. Seniors are downsizing (or “rightsizing”) their homes. Many seniors are working to stay fit and healthy so that they are able to help other family members.

The monthly newsletter, which has previously been available to those who are certified caregivers or educators, will now be made available to the public. Certified caregivers are also given the opportunity to answer quiz questions, based on articles, to earn Continuing Education (CE) credits.

Anyone interested in receiving the monthly newsletter can subscribe by logging on to the NCBAC website (http://www.NCBAC.net) and provide name and email address.

According to Dr. Donna Surges Tatum, PhD, “This curated news is created to give caregivers, educators and transition managers easy access to the most recent information in the field. If they choose, they can receive the added benefit of receiving CE credit for answering quiz questions.”

VitalSign is designed to protect what’s most important—the safety of our people.


KENILWORTH, N.J. (PRWEB)

Diversified, a leading global technology solutions provider, proudly announces the debut of their new public safety enhancing digital signage solution, FocalPoint – VitalSign. In today’s global climate, the company saw a need to provide first-level assurance to facilities operators whenever large groups of people assemble and potentially interact. The solution provides an initial layer of screening protection by detecting anyone with an elevated temperature from three feet away and within one second.

Powered by Aurora, VitalSign is an extension of FocalPoint, Diversified’s exclusive digital signage as a service (DSaaS) offering. Available as either a freestanding or wall-mounted kiosk, VitalSign leverages infrared temperature sensors and advanced algorithms to calculate heat signatures, providing an alert when someone with a high temperature is detected. Based on trusted German technology, the sensors measure with a tolerance of +/- 0.5 degrees Celsius (+/- 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit), without any compromises to accuracy for the enhanced non-touch hygienics.

“The sensors quickly and easily provide highly accurate temperature readings for individuals within range,” says Paul Harris, CEO, Aurora Multimedia. “Given the unprecedented societal impacts experienced lately, we want to do our part to help the world get back to the new norm as soon as possible.”

As the newest addition to FocalPoint, VitalSign is helping to reassure people of the health and safety of everyone around them and promoting safety in a socially distanced society.

“VitalSign is designed to protect what’s most important—the safety of our people,” says John Melillo, senior vice president of Diversified’s Digital Media Group specialty. “In today’s health climate, whether placed at an office or hospital entrance, a gym or an airport, these visual temperature readings not only help keep the public safe but can also lessen the mental and emotional burden of those inside.”

Newport LLC, an Advisory Firm Serving Middle Market Companies, Releases a Three-Phase Framework to Create a Path Forward after COVID-19

Leave a comment


Remember, disruption brings opportunity as well as risk. As you create your path, aim toward the opportunity left by the COVID-19 Black Swan.


SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)

The COVID-19 Black Swan has landed and the entire world is in turmoil and seeking ways to move out of the turmoil, but there is no magic bullet much less a bankable timeline for recovery.

For the last few months business leaders have been trying to figure out what just happened and what’s going to happen next. It looks like the business world as well as our personal environment and culture is in disruption for the long-haul, and we need a plan.

The attached short video, produced by Lynn Lednicky of Newport LLC presents a 3-phase framework you can use to create the path forward for your business.

For the last few months, the economy has been in a Stabilize Phase – the first phase. In this phase, we have tried to assess the rapidly changing situation as best we can and then survive.

Now it is time to move to the second phase – Re-Start. So far we have had our eyes on the ground in front of us, trying to avoid potholes, but it is time to begin to look to the horizon, try to get our bearings, and plot a direction. We now see the outlines of both the health and economic policy responses to COVID-19. Armed with that information, we need to start thinking about how to move our business to some semblance of normal. This is the – Restart Phase.

There are still lots of questions. When is this going to happen? What are the rules for restart? How long will it take? Will we relapse?

Even without answers to these questions, we know the economy will begin to open in the next few weeks and we must be ready. And remember, we will be restarting in a “new normal”.

Social distancing was a phrase none of us had heard 3 months ago, and today it is the defining feature of our business for at least the rest of this year.

Finally, there is the third phase – the Building Phase. This is what we were trying to do before the Black Swan arrived. The goal hasn’t changed, but the environment, the rules, and the prevailing economic forces certainly have.

Phase 2 and 3 go together. While you are mapping your re-start plan, you need to begin to take a view on what the world will look like once you get through the Re-start Phase. You don’t have to know all the answers, but you need to pick a direction.

Where do we go from here? Use this three-phase framework to create your path forward. Move from Stabilize to the Restart Phase, assess your situation, get independent advice as you do this (we at Newport can help), and be prepared to be totally honest about where you are and what you can do. Remember, disruption brings opportunity as well as risk. As you create your path, aim toward the opportunity left by the COVID Black Swan.

ConnectSx offers hospitals free access to its medical inventory management software in response to COVID-19

Leave a comment


The primary driver behind this offer is our belief that cost and budget constraints should not be the factors that define the decision-making process in times of crisis


MOKENA, Ill. (PRWEB)

In the wake of COVID-19, hospitals are struggling to locate and access the life-saving tools that healthcare providers need. Critical supplies like personal protective equipment are dwindling, while other valuable assets are lost or misplaced in the shuffle – significantly impeding the delivery of timely quality care.

To support this accelerated need for streamlining the healthcare supply chain, ConnectSx announced that it will offer hospitals free access to its medical inventory management software for at least the next six months.

“The ability to quickly identify and efficiently manage medical assets is imperative in the current environment. Hospitals need to know what supplies are available and where they’re located, so they can find the equipment they need to deliver critical care,” said ConnectSx co-founder and CEO, Chris Riedel. “By efficiently sharing information across the supply chain, hospitals can expedite their access to inventory.”

ConnectSx provides Software-as-a-Service solutions designed to simplify hospital inventory control and other complex workflows – reducing the administrative overhead of manual processes, while preventing errors and omissions that can delay care and lead to lost revenue.

Using secure web-based tools and mobile applications to streamline time-consuming inventory tasks, ConnectSx aims to offer some relief to busy clinical teams in response to COVID-19.

“The primary driver behind this offer is our belief that cost and budget constraints should not be the factors that define the decision-making process in times of crisis,” Riedel said, “especially when it comes to implementing tools that support critical healthcare operations by reducing the impact on clinical staff.”

In addition to helping providers find and acquire critical supplies in real-time, ConnectSx also enables hospitals to share device-related knowledge remotely – facilitating supply chain operations with limited contact. Medical sales reps, who typically bear a significant share of asset management responsibility, may now be restricted from entering clinical settings – making remote access to inventory information even more valuable throughout the hospital supply chain.

Although ConnectSx is initially extending free access to hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers for the next six months, Riedel said that “the flexibility of this timeline will be driven by the rate of recovery, rather than a fixed period of time.” The company’s goal is to provide clinical teams with easy access to its inventory management platform by making implementation as fast and frictionless as possible, so that healthcare providers can focus on delivering timely quality care more efficiently.

About ConnectSx

Based in Mokena, IL, ConnectSx provides Software-as-a-Service solutions designed to streamline the medical supply chain. Through web-based tools and mobile applications, ConnectSx offers capabilities to simplify hospital inventory control, case scheduling and management, UDI tracking, device-specific education and other complex workflows. By connecting data across the healthcare value chain, ConnectSx helps reduce waste, improve visibility and increase efficiency for medical device manufacturers, distributors, individual sales reps and the clinical teams they serve – creating the potential for improved patient outcomes.

“Data analytics has never been as important or as relevant as it is during this global health pandemic. Institutions are looking for answers.” – Mike Laracy, Founder of Rapid Insight


CONWAY, N.H. (PRWEB)

In times of crisis, data can provide guidance and stability. That’s why Rapid Insight Inc., a leading provider of easy-to-use predictive analytics and data blending software for higher education, is partnering with University Business magazine to present a free webinar exploring how data and higher education institutional researchers can lead the way during challenging times, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Taking place on Thursday, April 30 at 2 PM ET (11 AM PT), the webinar will feature three experts in institutional research: Drew Thiemann of Bellarmine University; Laura Miller of Messiah College; and Joseph Harrod of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. The webinar will be moderated by James Cousins, Analyst Manager of Rapid Insight.

Topics of discussion will include the types of data required in times of crisis, the importance of IR and data literacy at colleges and universities, the sometimes surprising findings of IR departments during the coronavirus’s impact, and the value of data in building a strategy for future preparedness. The webinar will be a roundtable and viewers will be encouraged to submit their own questions for the panel to discuss.

“It’s been an unqualified pleasure to work alongside all three of our speakers as they push the needle on ways data can help to serve their institution- particularly when paired with the genuine concern and passion they bring to their office’s role,” says moderator James Cousins.

Mike Laracy, the founder of Rapid Insight, added, “Data analytics has never been as important or as relevant as it is during this global health pandemic. Institutions are looking for answers. While the way forward is uncharted, we are excited to share the insights of three leading institutional researchers, all of whom are valued clients and users of Rapid Insight software.”

This webinar focuses on a topic that is timely and urgent. Colleges and universities nationwide are working to create new strategies to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the current and upcoming school years, and data plays a critical role in that process.

In the April 30 webinar, the IR experts will emphasize the importance of data in times of rapid change and upheaval. They will also discuss the challenges and successes their institutions have seen in working with IR to take a data-informed approach to the COVID-19 crisis.

HydroChem partners with Spartan Bioscience to bring the world’s first on-site, molecular Legionella test to Australia

Leave a comment



OTTAWA, Ontario (PRWEB)

HydroChem and Spartan Bioscience are collaborating on client trials in order to bring rapid, on-site molecular Legionella testing to their markets with the intent of becoming the exclusive distributor of the technology in Australia.

“HydroChem is constantly focused on evaluating innovative testing techniques for controlling and eliminating Legionnaires’ outbreaks in Australia,” says Nick Duncan, HydroChem’s CEO. “We’re anticipating that this evaluation will prove that using the quick result Spartan test on-site will help us keep our clients and communities safe from the threat of Legionnaires’ disease.”

Legionnaires’ disease is a severe pneumonia caused by breathing water vapor contaminated with Legionella bacteria. The CDC reports show a 550% increase in Legionnaires’ cases since 2000. Public health experts have found that Legionnaires’ is common and estimate there are hundreds of thousands of Legionnaires’ disease cases each year.(1) The traditional detection method for Legionella is based on laboratory culture testing. It provides results in 10-14 days, but this turnaround time is too slow as Legionella can grow to outbreak levels in as few as 7 days(2)and the shipping effect leads to inaccuracy.

Spartan’s test uses a highly accurate Nobel-Prize winning chemistry called quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) to provide results on site in just 45 minutes. These rapid and accurate results enable water treaters and building managers to take rapid action. qPCR is commonly used for medical diagnostics because of its time and accuracy advantages. This trend is now entering the environmental testing industry with Spartan’s qPCR environmental testing platform.

Spartan has also received Health Canada approval for a rapid COVID-19 test that is being deployed across Canada. Rapid, in-field COVID testing has been identified as a critical component to controlling the COVID-19 pandemic.

For more information about Spartan’s technology, visit environmental.spartanbio.com.

As the only Australian water treatment providers with all three certifications, their clients rely on them for exacting standards, professional and customer focused approach and ability to consistently improve bottom lines while enhancing and improving upon their water treatment processes.

About Spartan Bioscience

Spartan Bioscience is the leader in on-demand DNA testing.(3) The Spartan Cube, the world’s smallest DNA testing platform, enables unprecedented portability and convenience in applications such as infectious disease, pharmacogenetics, and food and water safety testing. Spartan created the first rapid, on-site Legionella DNA test to reduce the risk of Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks. The size of a coffee-cup, the Spartan Cube® is a portable DNA analyzer with a single-use disposable test cartridge. Spartan’s Legionella test is validated according to ISO 12869.(4)

EarthKind® Announces “A World of Protection” Initiative

Leave a comment


EarthKind Launches “A World of Protection” Initiative.

I’m thrilled to be raising the bar by bolstering our educational efforts through A World of Protection. I believe a World of Protection starts in the home, and the last thing any of us want or need is harmful chemicals that may threaten our safety.


MOORESVILLE, N.C. (PRWEB)

Coinciding with the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day and the 20th anniversary of EarthKind’s incorporation, April 22nd now also marks the launch of the plant-based, poison-free pest prevention brand’s “A World of Protection” initiative. “When I founded EarthKind® during Earth Week of 2000, I had a goal of both protecting my family’s farm equipment and property from pest damage, but also protecting the environment and pests from damage caused by humans. For the past 20 years, we’ve been educating on how to preserve nature’s delicate ecosystems, prevent pest problems before they start, and protect property from pest damage. Now, I’m thrilled to be raising the bar for the next 20 years by bolstering our educational efforts through A World of Protection,” says Kari Warberg Block, CEO/Founder of EarthKind®.

The A World of Protection initiative will focus on three key educational components for consumers: nontoxic living, pest behavior, and co-existing with nature. These three keys empower people to be proactive in protecting their homes, families, and environmental ecosystems without harmful chemicals. The CDC reported Monday a 20% increase in U.S. poison center calls from the past three months due to an increase in Americans suffering from potentially toxic exposure to chemicals in household products. Warberg Block says this underscores the need for a critical shift as the effects of COVID-19 on home living and nature are unveiled.

“Never before have we spent so much time at home, and it’s shifting our thinking and strengthening our core values. Many of us have seen that nature is resilient, and we need it more than it needs us. The environment is healing itself, and we must learn to coexist with nature, in a way that benefits all,” she notes. “But on the inside, throughout this pandemic our homes have become our sanctuary, our safe haven, much like nature’s sanctuary is outdoors. I believe a world of protection starts in the home, and the last thing any of us want or need is harmful chemicals that may threaten our safety,” states Warberg Block.

EarthKind® has always stood as an example of environmental and sustainable excellence. Warberg Block is using this time to get the brand closer to those goals, “I’m proud to say that we’ve now achieved one of our biggest goals – becoming 100% carbon neutral” she announces.

The botanical ingredients used in EarthKind® products are sourced from local American regenerative farms. Finding a like-minded partner to offset Earthkind’s remaining 2% of carbon emissions made sense. Nori, a company that specializes in facilitating carbon recapture through regenerative agriculture, connected EarthKind® with Harborview Farms and the goal was achieved. Supporting Nori’s mission to reverse climate change through removing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere aligns with EarthKind’s mission, and is the perfect beginning for the World of Protection initiative.

EarthKind® is a brand with a no harm approach that puts safety, health and peace of mind first. “Every animal, plant and insect in nature has its specific role to play, and in our homes, we strive to create our idea of a balanced and harmonious ecosystem. We have kids, pets, and lifestyles to consider. We believe that every small step at home, work and play counts towards a kinder, safer, harmonious and healthier world. But perhaps more importantly, when we help nature help itself, we protect our ecosystem.”

To kick off the new World of Protection initiative, Warberg Block will be hosting a “World of Protection” Facebook Live chat from her home to yours every Friday at 3:00pm EDT on her ‘Face to Face with Kari’ page. Here, all are welcome to ask Kari pest prevention questions and anything consumers may want to know about achieving a non-toxic home. Warberg Block will also be publishing a book this Fall for college-aged students, focusing on recruiting young entrepreneurs to build profitable businesses around the world that work in harmony with nature, another sector under her umbrella of “A World of Protection.”

“We are all in this together. Our world will not change for the better unless we all participate in that change, and change begins at home…a toxin-free home.”
